passkey mod has been made to one of my '95's yet i THINK it is responsible for a no start situation from time to time..
how do i yank it out root and branch..?

Passkey is a two-part system: 1. Fuel injector disable by the PCM. This can be deactivated by reprogramming. 2. Starter relay disable by the Theft Deterrent Module. This module is behind the dash, directly under the driver's side of the instrument cluster. It is intentionally not easy to get to, but you need to unplug the module (leave it unplugged) run a jumper from plug terminals that have the yellow /black and the black/white (A4 to B5). This will allow the relay to energize every time you turn the key to start.

That mod only works to bypass the need for the key resistor. Once the module starts to fail it needs to be removed from the equation.

reprogramming, how..? how do I do that without the tool..? note: i DO have a lot of thinkpad computers and making up a cable is simple..

resistor is out of this equation.. i replaced the ECM, that vendor programmed the VIN in the replacement ECM and SAID he had programmed the passkey OUT but it's BACK..
thanks woody and sherlock for the help..
too bad this really nice '95 is diseased to the point the wife won't drive it..

It's fixable.
1.(fuel injector disable): Bill, follow the instructions here and you can read the calibration yourself and check to make sure that VATS is disabled.
2. My directions above bypass the theft deterrent module, but only after VATS has been disabled in the PCM calibration ("program").
